Music 2002 Slinky Club Edition is a music creation software developed by Jester Interactive around 2002.

This archive also includes the exclusive Slinky album for this software.

Unlike Music2002 or MTV Music Generator, it does not require the disk to operate.

How to run under Windows 10:

While this program will run under Windows 10, it will not save/load a song without crashing. To avoid crashing while saving and loading, you will need the DirectX Control Panel. To get it, you will need to install the DirectX SDK from Microsoft here.

Once its installed, look for the DirectX Control Panel and launch it. Next, click on the 'Direct3D 9' tab and then check 'Software Only' mode. This will eliminate crashing while saving and loading songs. However, you will not be able to use the music video editor since this disables hardware rendering over Direct3D 9. The good news is, you can work on your songs without crashing and loosing your work.

NOTE: Make sure to turn the 'Software Only' mode off after you're done as this could stop other games or applications dependant on DirectX from running.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to run it as an administrator or it wont write save files!

Known issues:

This applications does not like multi-monitor set ups. The system mouse will often leave the program window and cause it to minimize. This is due to the system mouse able to interact outside of the program. Changing various compatibility and DirectX settings yielded no fix.

I have found another issue in regards to displays. If you have a single monitor NOT connected to the primary display connector on your motherboard or graphics card (if it has multiple display connectors) this will lead to the program refusing to start. It will generate an error log of some thread issue. This program is incredibly picky over display hardware for some reason.
